SteamPoweredKleenex Funny how the punishments from God tend to hit the sectors of the country that are often quite conservative or in the so-called "Bible Belt."
God has all the ironic accuracy of most suicide bombers.
TeenerTot Indeed. Given the goegraphic/theocratic connections of this disaster, I have to conclude that god is punishing people who don't believe in gay marriage or evolution.
cognitivedissonance In fact, the state that just legalized gay marriage and is on the way to legalizing marijuana is having the most mild summer in memory. The only places that are suffering from wildfires are those that harbor Tea Party fanatics! Hooray for Satan's homeland, Washington!
fatatty There's also a good chance that a hurricane will his the Republican National Convention in Tampa this year. Though I'm sure Christians will only think of the gays, and not the rich man promising to cut benefits for the poor so he can lower his taxes.
If natural disaster hits unbelievers, it's because god doesn't like them/they did stuff god doesn't like.
If natural disaster hits believers, it's because they didn't oppose the stuff god doesn't like -enough-, or didn't donate enough to the 700 club, or they weren't REAL believers.
Meerkat If unbelievers do things you don't agree with and nothing happens, just pretend they don't exist!
Jet Bin Fever Well, don't forget that the Hebrews were considered God's chosen people, and then went on for 5 millenia of hardship.
STABFACE If Tampa gets nailed with a hurricane next week does that mean God hates the GOP?
John Holmes Motherfucker Pat Robertson is still alive because God doesn't want to let this grinning know-it-all into Heaven.
lordyam im starting to think hes just a horrible muppet that keeps changing voice actors. like when steve whitmore or frank welker doing kermit
SteamPoweredKleenex He might not be a muppet. This could be a fundie version of "Weekend at Bernies" and they've just got him rigged with strings and animatronics.
Caminante Nocturno Pat Robertson is still alive because God thinks making Satan put up with him is a bit too much.
Billy the Poet Thou shalt not increase the atmospheric concentration of carbon in gaseous form. Neither shalt thou do likewise with methane, nor denude the forests of trees. Otherwise thou art on thine own, assholes. I am the LORD.
Vaidency "You know, somehow in this country we feel that we can ignore the laws of God."
I know. It's like we have something specifically inserted into our constitution that guarantees we owe no loyalty to any particular god. It's weird.
"Waaah! I'm the Lindberg baby! Goo goo! I want my fly fly dada!"
memedumpster Sir James Frazer wrote about Christians of his time putting statues of the Saints in dried up fields as a punishment to God for not making it rain. It amused him greatly.
